Great app, great quality, needs a few buttons!
I’m a new Qobuz user and I’m excited about it!
Quick question... let’s say I want to hit random on all the music that I like... is there a way to do that?
First I tried downloading MP3s (as 44.1 files would take up space in a hurry) to my phone, but then I realized that I lost the option to stream those songs at CD quality.
Then I tried favoriting albums, but if I’m trying to have all the tracks together in one place... it looks like I’d have to individually favorite each song, and even then there’s not a random button on the favorite songs list.
Then I tried making a playlist of everything but it Looks like there’s a cap on how many songs are in a playlist.
I believe the easiest solutions to be as follows:
1a. Make it so when someone favorites an album, all the tracks show up in the favorite tracks list
b. Allow random play on favorite tracks
Or,
2. Have a shuffle button in the favorite albums list that includes all songs from all albums.
Or,
3. Have the ability to prefer CD quality when streaming even if I’ve downloaded MP3s of the same songs.... this would be a wonderful feature to have anyway!
Or,
4. Have unlimited length playlists
Thanks!
Tom

Favorites shuffle, please...
I enjoy the service, however I have a problem with the app. I try to use it at work, but I don’t have time to continually mess with it, and change songs. My favorites are clearly listed, and I have the option of listening to them alphabetically by song, artist, or album. That’s a terrible way to have music playing in my office all day. I would like to see a shuffle all favorites selection that will randomly select from every song/album that I have favorited. Every other service does this.
At home I have Roon software, which integrates beautifully with Qobuz, and mixes my locally stored music with Qobuz favorites seamlessly. It’s a perfect setup for me. Unless I am watching tv or a movie, there is never a time when music isn’t playing.

Good but can be better
Firstly, the search function could be better at finding individual tracks, not just artists
Tracks released as single items are considered albums so appear under albums rather than tracks
Duplication is not picked up so if you have a large playlist and forget what has been added it’s possible to add a track more than once
If I choose a track from favourites returning to favourites displays a blank page and I need to select Artist tab then Track again to refresh and see all the tracks
Overall though good value for high quality streaming at this time

Fantastic app
I bought Qobuz to stream from Roon, and it worked great already for that, but I thought to try it for mobile as well and I’m glad I did!
First, the sound quality is fantastic, which is expected for this service and the hi-res streaming price. I keep an iPhone SE with standard headphone jack because of its size and that its internal DAC is far superior, and Qobuz reveals it well. Night and day even with VE Monk earbuds.
Second, and the part that surprises me—Qobuz is just a better music app period, regardless of sound quality. The features, organization, discovery, library, and small details like instant stream quality switching, artist/album reviews and bios, full credits, and related content are just really well done. One thing I particularly love is the left/right swipe while in player view to get to history (left) and queue (right). Makes total sense and is just intuitive and convenient, I wish all music apps worked that way.
Best of all worlds. Great experience.

Great now HiRes works with Chromecast
I love the music curation in Qobus. I always find their recommendations fit my music tastes. My Denon AV amp doesn’t support Qobus HiRes natively so I didn’t subscribe. However a more recent release of the app added Chromecast support so I can use that instead. Steaming works almost perfectly for HiRes with my Chromecast Ultra (I don’t know if standard Chromecast supports HiRes). The only small problem is that the app loses connection to the Chromecast and then starts to play the same music on iPhone speaker (but a bit out of sync). This is easy to fix by closing the app and then letting the Chromecast work on its own; but would be better if app and Chromecast stayed connected.

App needs work
Started my trial to see if I like Qobuz better than Tidal. I noticed Qobuz has more of certain masters than tidal, but it’s also missing stuff that tidal does have. I’m satisfied with the quality and selection but the app needs a lot of work. Playback gives errors more often than Im okay with, and I don’t like how the player disappears completely when you’re in the search menu. You have to go all the way back to get back to the player which is super inconvenient. In my opinion, album titles should be moved to the top and featured artist should be next to the artist name. I don’t like how there’s no exact release dates for anything, just the year it came out. The discover tab needs a whole revamp, it’s super hard to find new music for me and nothing is relevant. If there’s a new music Friday tab like every other app someone please tell me. If not that’s something people are used to with other services so that’s a must for me. Swiping though songs in the player would be really nice. There’s loading symbols for basically everything you press, even just favoriting a song. The app needs an overhaul. Other than that it’s a good service but because of the app alone I won’t be choosing this over tidal just yet

Hello, Our application has been updated. Could you try it again? Qobuz team
Awesome Quality Playback
Playing back music from Qobuz is second to none, the quality is noticeably better than most others.
Notwithstanding, I have got a few criticisms:
1. Why would Qobuz have an artist on but with only some of their work? For example, Tank and the Bangas are on but their best work, “Tink Tank” is not there. So too is Jens Kuross “We Will Run”.
2. Searching is too cumbersome, one has to go back, back, back ..... to get back to the search page. And, searching titles is almost nonexistent.
3. Most time people add artists and titles in a particular genre to their library because most other people are listening to it. Qobuz could indicate the artists, songs that are trending. And, within the artists’ publication, their best work according to Billboard, download statistics, or something.
4. Music lyrics should be included. And, where Qobuz do not have the lyrics, subscribers should be able to add the lyrics.
With these adjustments; in my humble opinion, Qobuz could quickly become the BEST.

Hello, thank you for your feedback. We are currently working on our research engine and improving its relevance is our priority. We also want to offer as much music as possible on our platform, but availability may vary over time and depending on the country for many reasons, depending on the authorizations granted by the rights holders. For your information, we have won more than 15 million titles in CD quality and in Hi-Res quality since March 2019. And we are not ready to stop! We will share the rest of your suggestions with our teams. Kind regards, the Qobuz team
Human, finally
I want to praise Qobuz to the skies. The human touch is significant and brings back for me the excitement and curiosity I first had when I began exploring classical music as a teenager. It’s amazing to me that it isn’t the 24-bit audio that makes Qobuz great. They don’t rely on just that to appeal to audiophiles, like everyone else does. They include liner notes (as NO ONE else does). They write about the music (e.g., the editorial panoramas). This turns the music into a cultural experience, people sharing with people what they love and why. And the clean interface of the app only enhances the human touch while being clutter-free. I’m currently in a trial subscription, but already I am sold. Thank you, Qobuz, for all you do above and beyond the 24-bit audio. Please keep doing it.
